He has been considered by many pundits in Albania as one of the greatest goalkeepers in Albania. In December 2018 he was honoured for his services to Albanian football, alongside [Edvin Murati](/source/Edvin_Murati) and [Qamil Teliti](/source/Qamil_Teliti).[http://telegraf.al/sport/musta-murati-dhe-teliti-pas-vdekjes-dekorohen-me-nderi-i-futbollit-shqiptar/ Musta, Murati dhe Teliti (pas vdekjes) dekorohen me "Nderi i futbollit shqiptar"] – Telegraf {{in lang|sq}} ==Early life== Perlat Musta was born in [Vlorë](/source/Vlor%C3%AB) on 15 October 1958 into a family which did not have "strong" connections with football.{{cite web|url=https://durreslajm.al/speciale/perlat-musta-legjenda-e-port%C3%ABs|title=Perlat Musta, legjenda e portës|trans-title=Perlat Musta, legend of goal|publisher=Durrës Lajm|language=Albanian|date=16 August 2014|access-date=9 September 2018|archive-date=9 September 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180909184903/https://durreslajm.al/speciale/perlat-musta-legjenda-e-port%C3%ABs|url-status=dead}} He began to show his liking for football at the age of 10, and unlike his coevals, Musta's favourite position was goalkeeper. ==Club career== Musta was a product of [Partizani Tirana](/source/Partizani_Tirana) academy, and was promoted to senior squad in 1979 and went on to play there until 1991.{{cite web|url=http://telesport.al/58-vjet-perlat-musta-superportieri-bio-partizanit/|title=58 vjet Perlat Musta, superportieri "bio" i Partizanit!|trans-title=58 years Perlat Musta, supergoalkeeper "bio" of Partizani|publisher=Telesport.al|language=Albanian|author=Alfred Lleshi|date=15 October 2016|access-date=9 September 2018}} In January 1991, he scored from the penalty spot in a league match against [Luftëtari](/source/KF_Luft%C3%ABtari_Gjirokast%C3%ABr).{{cite book |last=Hammond |first=Mike |title=European Football Yearbook 1991/92|date=2 August 1991 |publisher=Sports Projects Ltd |page=72 |isbn=0-94686603-1 }} He left Albania in 1991 like many Albanians following the [fall of communism](/source/Fall_of_communism_in_Albania), joining Romanian side [Dinamo București](/source/Dinamo_Bucure%C8%99ti). He failed to establish himself as a regular at Dinamo because of the two Romanian international goalkeepers, [Florin Prunea](/source/Florin_Prunea) and [Florin Tene](/source/Florin_Tene). He played only two matches in his first season at [Ştefan cel Mare](/source/Stadionul_%C5%9Etefan_cel_Mare) in his first season, but he managed to win his first and only Champion of Romania title. He was loaned to [Progresul București](/source/Progresul_Bucure%C8%99ti), but returned to Dinamo București. In 1994 he returned to Partizani Tirana where he played as starter in the next two seasons and also served as goalkeeper Coach. ==International career== Musta had a successful youth international career, winning [Balkan Youth Championship](/source/Balkan_Youth_Championship) twice in 1978 and 1981.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/balkan-u23.html|title=Balkan Youth Championship 1968–1981|website=[RSSSF](/source/RSSSF)|access-date=9 September 2018}} He made his senior debut for [Albania](/source/Albania_national_football_team) in a September 1981 [FIFA World Cup qualification](/source/FIFA_World_Cup_qualification) match against [Finland](/source/Finland_national_football_team) and earned a total of 23 caps, scoring no goals.[https://www.rsssf.org/miscellaneous/alba-recintlp.html Appearances for Albania National Team] – RSSSF His final international was a June 1993 World Cup qualification against [Denmark](/source/Denmark_national_football_team).{{cite web|url=https://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=14674|title=Player Database}} He was also once the captain of the team in a match against [Romania](/source/Romania_national_football_team), which took place in 1987 on the [Steaua Stadium](/source/Steaua_Stadium). ==Personal life== His daughter [Aulona Musta](/source/Aulona_Musta) is an Albanian blogger and social media celebrity.[http://www.panorama.com.al/perlat-musta-ja-kur-me-ka-zhgenjyer-per-here-te-pare-vajza-ime-aulona/ Perlat Musta: Ja kur më ka zhgënjyer për herë të parë vajza ime Aulona] – Panorama {{in lang|sq}} ==Career statistics== Source:{{cite web|url=https://eu-football.info/_player.php?id=14674|title=Perlat Musta – national football team player|publisher=EU-Football.info|access-date=9 September 2018}} {| class=wikitable style="text-align: center;" |+ Appearances and goals by national team and year |- !National team!!Year!!Apps!!Goals!!Goals Conceded |- |rowspan=8|[Albania](/source/Albania_national_football_team) |1981||3||0||10 |- |1982||2||0||1 |- |1983||5||0||8 |- |1984||3||0||5 |- |1985||4||0||4 |- |1986||2||0||5 |- |1987||2||0||6 |- |1993||2||0||6 |- !colspan=2|Total!!23!!0!!45 |} ==Honours== ;Partizani Tirana *[Albanian Superliga](/source/Albanian_Superliga): [1978–79](/source/1978%E2%80%9379_Albanian_Superliga), [1980–81](/source/1980%E2%80%9381_Albanian_Superliga), [1986–87](/source/1986%E2%80%9387_Albanian_Superliga) *[Albanian Cup](/source/Albanian_Cup): [1979–80](/source/1979%E2%80%9380_Albanian_Cup), [1990–91](/source/1990%E2%80%9391_Albanian_Cup) ;Dinamo București *[Liga I](/source/Liga_I): [1991–92](/source/Divizia_A_1991%E2%80%9392) ;Albania U21 *[Balkan Youth Championship](/source/Balkan_Youth_Championship): 1978, 1981 ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== * {{NFT|25204}} * {{Soccerway|232275}} * [http://www.scoreshelf.com/jjbb/en/Albania/ALB_PerlatMusta Scoreshelf profile] {{FK Partizani Tirana managers}} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Musta, Perlat}} Category:1958 births Category:Living people Category:Footballers from Vlorë Category:Albanian men's footballers Category:Men's association football goalkeepers Category:Albania men's international footballers Category:FK Partizani Tirana players Category:FC Dinamo București players Category:FC Progresul București players Category:Liga I players Category:Albanian expatriate men's footballers Category:Expatriate men's footballers in Romania Category:Albanian expatriate sportspeople in Romania Category:Albanian football managers Category:FK Partizani Tirana managers Category:FC Kamza managers Category:20th-century Albanian sportsmen --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Perlat Musta](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlat_Musta) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlat_Musta?action=history)).
